The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1552

Chapter 1552: 754 Complete Victory! (Second Update)

Those present were unaware that the King of Hei Feng had already retired; however, Han Ye knew it all too well.

This horse had grown old and was already unable to fight. Moreover, having been triggered by something, it had gone mad searching for its former master, leading the Han Family to judge it as having no military value.

The Han Family declared to the public that it had let the horse retire.

In truth, they had simply discarded it, leaving it to fend for itself in the wild. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

According to Chu Nan, if it realized that its old master would never return, it would unhesitatingly sacrifice itself in devotion.

So many days had passed; it must have died of hunger by now.

How could it be standing here perfectly fine before him?

No, not perfectly fine—it had lost a lot of weight.

Han Che had always envied his elder brother’s mount and dreamt of one day riding it himself; he visited it every couple of days, so he was more than familiar with how it looked.

It suddenly dawned on him; it must have been Xiao Liulang who had picked up this horse. Xiao Liulang was a physician, and who knows what methods he might have used to prolong the King of Hei Feng’s life.

Unfortunately, the King of Hei Feng had long since lost its will to fight. What use was its prolonged life? It was nothing but a walking corpse!

Having realized all this, Han Che’s heart shed any trace of apprehension and fear, replaced by boundless scorn and contempt.

"Look who it is, if it isn’t Xiao Liulang," he sneered from atop his Hei Fengqi mount, his gaze falling on Gu Jiao’s spirited little face marked with a red birthmark. "You couldn’t afford to buy a horse, so you stole our Han Family’s old King of Hei Feng?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

"What? Stolen?"

"His King of Hei Feng was stolen?"

"I thought so; wasn’t it the Young Master of the Han Family’s mount? How did it end up with this kid?"

The Cavalry contestants whispering amongst themselves on the sidelines.

To a Cavalry, a horse is like a weapon to a master; no one doesn’t want the best.

But they often can’t have the best and certainly don’t wish for their rivals to have it.

If it belongs to someone out of their league, they can maintain a sense of balance in their minds.

But once it is taken by an ordinary person, that balance is instantly shattered.

"So it was stolen," this notion undeniably made them feel a little better inside.

Unfortunately, Gu Jiao’s presence was not to satisfy the self-soothing psychology of some underdogs; she was there to shatter their illusions.
